Ambitious, Profitable

摘要

"We have turned our words into accomplishments," says Masahiro Okafuji, President and CEO of ITOCHU Corporation. When he took up the position of CEO in 2010, Okafuji set about rebalancing ITOCHU's profile to emphasize the non-resource sector, which consists of businesses that are not dependent on natural resources. In a move that evokes the company's roots in the textile business, he aggressively set about focusing on the consumer-related arena-business lines such as textiles, food and ICT-making it the corporation's basic earnings platform. It was a savvy move.
